We’re excited to announce the release of TopoFusion version 5.0! Over four years of development went into version 4.0, arriving at where the software is today. The list of new features, fixes and improvements is too long to list here. Thanks to all our users for coming along for the ride. You see, much of TopoFusion development is user driven. We love to hear about cool projects or off-the-wall ideas for cool things you can do with maps, GPS, trackers, trails and everything in between!

Since the last revision 4 release the most notable change is in the map tilesets. We’ve improved download reliability, added a very high res “USGS” color aerial layer, and replaced the dragging “US Topo” with a unique topo layer.

Update your TF and check it out (full list of changes below), or if you are new to TopoFusion, please try the demo. And as always, let us know what you think, especially if you have a suggestion for a new feature or different way the software should work.

Comments

Right now this version of TopoFusion is having issues downloading maps from both the “Color” and “USGS Imagery” tilesets.

This is due to a server change. Unfortunately as I am on the trail for the summer I cannot research this and compile a new version of the software. It will likely be September when we get this fixed.

All other map types are downloading fine as of this time.

Luckily there are other excellent choices for aerial imagery, like Open Aerial. There is also a hidden feature to download very high res and fast color aerials. Email us if you’d like to use this in the interim while we wait to get these tilesets back.
